This years temporary train layout is no more. Our 6×10 layout operated with Two Freight trains and a Passenger train. Lionel New York and Penn Flyers and a Lionel Amtrak. There is an MTH bump and go trolley and the city scene included K-Line SuperStreets. The Layout used Fastrack powered by 4 Transformers including CW 80s, an LW and a TW. PW items include the Lionel 397 Coal Loader, a 193 Flashing Water Tower and a couple 6520 Searchlight cars. This is a temporary model railroad Layout 6′x10′ that sits on 3/8 plywood on a 1×2 frame. The frame is set on empty 5 gallon paint buckets. The only part of the Fastrack that is screwed down are the bumpers for the MTH bump and go Trolley. The layout is broken down completely and will be rebuild next winter, but will be different and possibly bigger. Conventional power with toggle switches creates two separate power blocks. The Yard spur is block switched so an engine can be parked and a single train can operate on both inner and outer loops.

I can’t really remember when was the last time I’ve played with my model train set. The tracks are certainly lost somewhere, not to mention the transformer, that used to power the locomotive polling these little things.
I just keep this around as I do with many other tiny little things – I have a strange affection for tiny little things

Question by XemoXlaceyX: Does anyone have a Model Railroad?
Im just wondering if there is anyone out there thats between the ages of 18-30 that owns or is part of a club that runs HO Scale trains. I model the Norfolk Southern modern Day railroading and would like to have someone around my age to share this fascinating hobby with!
